Chapter 228 Extorting a confession, looking for whereabouts
"Happy to help." Han Yu responded with a smile: "But I hope you can help find our companions."
"If we can beat those monsters back to their lair, or we can get news about your companion, I hope she will be safe by then."
"I hope so." With a smile on his face, Han Yu unabashedly observed Sarah's expression when she spoke.
Even ordinary people would give a little reaction when being stared at like this, let alone a proud elf.
But Sarah completely ignored Han Yu, without any fluctuation on her face, which made Han Yu feel that she was lying.
After a brief conversation, Sarah arranged for Han Yu and the two to live in the city, and then left to arrange the next defense arrangement.
The attacks of the abyssal creatures were only repelled temporarily, but when the fog reappeared, the siege would continue.
Han Yu, who was assigned to the wooden house, looked at the elves walking outside the room, quietly summoned the falcon, and ordered him to fly high into the sky.
I want to see the layout of the city and the combat power in the city. If there is a conflict, I can make preparations in advance. At least I must first determine where Jiang Ziqi is hidden.
Through Eagle Vision, it can be seen that this elf city is not too big, not even one-tenth the size of the wreckage of Sequoia City.
Except for the surrounding walls, it can't even be regarded as a city, it is only a temporary defensive city.
Based on the house, there are only two to three thousand elves in the city. After removing the logistics, there are only about a thousand warriors available.
There are at most a hundred people who can fight Han Yu and Gao Haoqiong head-on.
It is considered a normal fifty-level difficulty dungeon—if Han Yu takes killing elves as the goal of clearing the level.
Most of the buildings in the city are similar, and there is no place similar to palaces or prisons.
I want the falcon to fly lower and take a closer look at the buildings in the city.
A sharp arrow shot at Han Yu with the sound of piercing through the air, and it arrived in front of him in an instant.
Han Yu hastily canceled the summoning, the falcon disappeared in the air, and the arrows shot into the sky also missed.
"The elves don't love animals that much..."
Eagle Vision's shared vision was too real, and his whole body tensed up with an arrow.
"Why do you have to hide the news of seeing humans?"
"When I heard that I came in to find my companions, I killed them and never saw anyone else."
Han Yu couldn't help thinking the worst, what did they do to Jiang Ziqi, eager to hide the truth?
If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Ziqi was in the hands of Salamander, he would have already called Gao Haoqiong.
But Sarah is unwilling to say that other ordinary elves seem to have seen humans entering the elf city, so they can only wait until the sky is dark and grab someone to ask.
Before that, Han Yu summoned Ellie. Regarding the night elves, he still had to ask Ellie from the elves.
After talking with Ellie, he also had a basic understanding of the night elves.
Night elves are not descended from ordinary elves as humans think, but are one of the ancient races that appeared at the same time as elves.
Moreover, most of the tribes are born with magic and are born mages, so the most common among the night elves are archers and mages.
However, according to legend, because the night elves used excessive magic, they eventually attracted the monsters in the abyss, and a fierce battle between the elves and the monsters in the abyss was inevitable.
While fighting the monsters in the abyss, many injured elves were infected by the black mist and became dark elves, completely giving up their faith.
After repelling the monsters in the abyss with heavy losses, the night elves also left the elves' settlement with a curse, and disappeared from people's sight.
Even Ellie hasn't seen a pure night elf for a long time, and she didn't expect to meet a night elf gathering place here.
The dark elves are the truly fallen elves.
Because they look too similar, most of the evils done by the dark elves are blamed on the night elves.
After listening to Ai Li's explanation, Han Yu also understood why Gao Haoqiong just asked a question, and Salamander reacted so strongly.
Emotions have always been wronged, but if the abyss was really created by the night elves, the night elves would not be wronged.
Knowing the background of the night elves, but it is still useless for Han Yu to find Jiang Ziqi.
Han Yu asked again: "Then what is the attitude of the night elves towards humans? Will they intentionally kill people or something?"
"No." Ellie shook her head: "The night elves only have magical talents, and their temperament hasn't changed much. As long as humans don't take the initiative to attack, they should not attack humans or other intelligent creatures."
"Maybe the magic talent has taken over the brain, and most night elves' brains are not working well. According to legend, disasters are always prone to occur in places where night elves are."
It seems that there is still a reason for the disintegration of the elves. Even the young Ellie couldn't help but swear when she heard the night elves.
"Then why did you hide that you met Jiang Ziqi? It doesn't make sense."
According to Han Yu's guess, Jiang Ziqi must have nowhere to go, and will only enter after touching the copy.
Moreover, this dungeon is a reminder that Jiang Ziqi will venture into such a high-level dungeon if there is a path to clear the level without fighting.
If she met the elves first, she probably wouldn't take the initiative to attack. After all, Jiang Ziqi is also a player, and she can see the neutral mark on the head of the elves.
But if he encountered a creature in the abyss, why did Salamander keep covering it up?
"Are the night elves really related to the appearance of the abyss?" Han Yu asked again.
"Those are just legends, and I only heard people talking about them, but since the night elves left the tribe, there really have been no monsters from the abyss."
Han Yu recalled the black mist outside the city, and Salamander called them creatures of the abyss.
"The night race used excessive magic to attract monsters from the abyss?"
Han Yu always feels that there is no necessary connection between the two. There are so many monsters in the human world, but before monsters, no human being can use magic.
Han Yu didn't have much time to think about the internal affairs of the elves, and now he was most concerned about Jiang Ziqi's safety.
"If you have time, help me find out more about the night elves?"
"Okay, I'll go back and apply to check the information in the ancient books of the clan."
After questioning, Han Yu sent Ai Li back.
Gao Haoqiong next to him watched all this in amazement. When Han Yu talked with Ai Li, he didn't dare to show his breath.
It's not that he has never met a summoner, but the traditional relationship between a summoner and a summoned object is just a contract.
Pull it over, and the battle, death, or termination of the battle will be gone.
Most of the summoned objects only act according to the master's order, and the battle also needs the master's command.
How can there be Han Yu who can communicate with summoned objects, and can also make summoned objects return to the clan to help him search for information.
"Brother Han Yu, your summon is a bit strange."
"Huh? Oh, this is my talent."
Han Yu almost forgot, in order to discuss what to do next, Gao Haoqiong went directly to his room.
"It's a very peculiar talent, I guess many summoners will be envious." Gao Haoqiong nodded.
Having such a summoning item can save the summoner a lot of energy, and the battle on the battlefield will also save a lot of effort.
"Then what should we do next? I always feel that the elf envoy is not telling the truth."
"How about we do it directly? I feel that this Lost Land is not as scary as it is in the legend. I just don't know if we can go out from the place we entered."
"Let's take a look first. If Jiang Ziqi is really in their hands, doing it directly may cause unnecessary trouble."
If the problem can be solved by doing it, Han Yu doesn't mind getting a wave of experience here.
"Then just wait, or wait until their city is about to be breached and we must take action..."
"I can't wait that long. When it gets dark, I'll grab an elf and ask." Even if they don't come over this time, the city will not be breached for a while.
I don't know how many days it will take until Sarah has to ask the two of them for help, so it's better to take the initiative.
During the rest of the time, Han Yu and Gao Haoqiong wandered around the city, trying to talk to other elves by the way, and asked if they had seen any other humans enter the city.
At the beginning they were quite polite to Han Yu, and most of them knew about their help in defending the city today.
But when Jiang Ziqi was asked, the eyes of those talking elves began to avert their eyes. It seemed that they had received a confidential notice.
It may be that they have rarely seen human beings. These elves are really bad at lying, but they simply keep silent when asked about key information, and waved Han Yu to leave.
After just shopping for a day, Han Yu still didn't find anything suspicious, except that the elves in this city might have seen Jiang Ziqi, but he still didn't know any additional information.
The sky gradually darkened, and Han Yu was ready to act.
I just wanted to catch an elf to ask in the dead of night, but Han Yu opened the door, but at night, there seemed to be more people on the street
"Don't night elves sleep..."
Han Yu was somewhat speechless, could it be that the night elves are night owls, Ellie never mentioned it to him.
But he can't wait anymore, at least it's easier for him to hide in the dark.
After confirming that no one was watching, he disappeared from the rear window of the wooden house, shared the talent of the Shadowblade Mantis, and passed through the gap of the house lightly.
But every time they look at the street, there are two or three female elves with shoulders and backs. At night, they seem to have completely relaxed.
Running nearly 100 meters, Han Yu tried his best to drill towards a hidden place, and finally found a female elf lying on the ground next to a hut.
The person is not sober anymore, but he is unwilling to let go of the wine bottle hanging in his hand.
After making sure no one was paying attention, Han Yu carried the elf on his back, and Wuyin and Yingyue disappeared in place in an instant.
"Fly...I fly..."
The drunk elf hadn't realized that he was being recited. He didn't know what happened, and kept talking nonsense.
The distance and speed of Shadow Leap were strengthened again. Even the elf who turned his head inadvertently saw only a black shadow drifting by. When he wanted to take a closer look, there was nothing left.
It took three consecutive uses of Fog Shadow and Shadow Leap before Han Yu brought the elf back.
In the room, Han Yu and Gao Haoqiong looked at the elf lying on the ground, and they didn't react at all after being carried for such a long distance.
"Why did you bring a delirious man back, how can you ask questions?"
"No way, there are too many people on the street, and even those who are not insane can't be brought back." Han Yu is also very difficult to deal with, the streets are full of people, and it is not easy to find a single person.
The key point was that he hadn't thought about it before. The night elves still became more excited as the night progressed. No wonder they looked tired all day defending the city.
Gao Haoqiong raised a glass of cold water and was about to splash it on the elf's face, but Han Yu stopped him before he could do it.
"I'll do it." As Han Yu said, he added a seed in his hand, and placed it in front of the elf. The vines began to grow rapidly and entwine towards the elf.
As the vines became tighter and tighter, the elf finally became sober.
"You...you are..." The elf just woke up and saw two big men standing in front of him, subconsciously trying to struggle, but found that his whole body was imprisoned.
"Humans! You are the two humans who entered the city today!" The elf was full of novelty, but he didn't have any fear.
This temporarily stopped Han Yu who was about to inject Yumeng Toxin.
"Are you going to catch me out and sell me as a slave to humans?"
"Is there a lot of good wine in the human world? There are also many delicious ones!"
"Can you sell it to younger businessmen? Human beings are getting old too fast."
Before Han Yu asked a question, the elf was already chattering non-stop, and even had stars in his eyes, longing for a life away from here.
"You seem to have caught something strange..." Gao Haoqiong retracted the flying sword, which seemed to be quite cooperative, and there was no need to force a confession.
"Shut up! Ask you, have you seen other humans recently?"
"No, never!" The elf immediately denied it.
"You know the consequences if you don't tell the truth, right?" Han Yuli drew out his fire knife and pointed it at the elf's neck.
"Sell me! I, Webb Theresa, would rather be sold than tell the truth!" After speaking, he shook his head, completely ignoring the steel knife in Han Yu's hand.
"Okay." Han Yu didn't bother to threaten her, it would be bad if he screamed, now the streets are full of elves.
The tiny tentacles of the Dreaming Vine drilled out from the skin of the vine, penetrating the skin one by one, injecting poison into the elf.
"What...what..." Teresa originally just felt a little itchy all over her body, and then her newly awakened consciousness became blurred.
Everything in front of her turned into a dream, she completely let go of her defenses, showing a foolish smile...
"Theresa, have humans entered the city recently?" Han Yu's voice sounded in her ears.
Subconsciously replied: "There is a girl... who was injured and was found by our patrolling elves and brought back to the city for treatment."
"It really is so!" Han Yu couldn't help being excited in his heart. No matter how sure he was before, it was only a guess, but now it is finally confirmed.
"Did you see that girl?" Han Yu continued to ask
"There are very few humans in the city, we all want to see, but the next day, she was taken away..."
"Where have you been taken!"
"Wangcheng, leave the city and go to the direction of the Wangcheng..."
"Send it to Wangcheng? Why send it to Wangcheng..." Han Yu whispered subconsciously, it sounded like they didn't have any malice towards Jiang Ziqi at first.
He also treated her injuries, but Jiang Ziqi was taken away the next day.
